EADS’ (stock exchange symbol: EAD) annual results 2009 demonstrate the Group’s ability to face a challenging macro-economic and commercial environment thanks to proactive management of the order-book and of customer funding sources. It enabled strong deliveries across all businesses. However, earnings are weighed down by provisions for delays on new programmes. Revenues stood stable at € 42.8 billion. The EBIT* before one-off amounted to € 2.2 billion. Foreign exchange effects and the provision booked for the A400M programme in particular have weighed on EADS’ EBIT* of € -322 million. The order intake of € 45.8 billion reflects the significantly weaker commercial momentum in 2009. At the same time, the Group recorded strong defence and institutional business. EADS’ order book of € 389 billion provides a solid platform for future deliveries. The Net Cash position is solid at € 9.8 billion thanks to better than expected Free Cash Flow (see explanations on page 2) and remains a strong asset for the Group.
“In 2009, the commercial business environment was difficult – but we anticipated many of the challenges ahead of us and overcame them. This illustrates the strength EADS has developed over its first ten years,” said EADS CEO Louis Gallois. ”Beyond simply managing the economic downturn, our objective in 2009 was to keep a strong focus on innovation across our portfolio to lay the foundation for the next decade. I deeply appreciate the support of the Customer Nations for the A400M. Thanks to the agreement between the Customer Nations and EADS this programme is now back on track. Although the Group has to take an additional significant provision, this stabilises the programme. Apart from the A400M, we remain fully focused on improved programme management including further ramp-up of the A380, the development of the A350 and the Saudi Border Surveillance programme.”
Revenues of EADS stood at € 42.8 billion (FY 2008: € 43.3 billion), supported by record commercial aircraft deliveries at Airbus (498 units compared to 483 in 2008) but offset by lower revenue recognition in the A400M programme, price deterioration on commercial aircraft deliveries and negative foreign exchange impacts. In addition, revenues at Astrium grew by 12 percent.
EBIT* before one-off – an indicator capturing the underlying business margin by excluding non-recurring charges or profits caused by movements in provisions or foreign exchange impacts – stood at € 2.2 billion (FY 2008: € 3.3 billion). Compared to 2008, higher volumes at Airbus and Power8 savings were more than offset by a degradation of hedge rates, the deterioration of pricing on Airbus commercial deliveries and cost increases. A380 continued to weigh significantly on the underlying performance. The performance of Single Aisle and Long Range programmes in Airbus as well as in other Divisions remains robust.
The EBIT* of EADS of € -322 million (FY 2008: € 2,830 million) was burdened by A400M and A380 provisions and exceptional negative foreign exchange impacts. In total, exchange rate impacts weighed down 2009 EBIT* by € 2.5 billion compared to 2008.
EADS’ Net Income amounted to € -763 million (FY 2008: € 1,572 million), or earnings per share of € -0.94 (earnings per share FY 2008: € 1.95). The Net Income was weighed down by the deterioration of EBIT*. Self-financed R&D expenses slightly increased to € 2,825 million (FY 2008: € 2,669 million), assigned to spur new technologies and future business.
Exceptionally, due to the significant loss in 2009, the EADS Board of Directors recommends no dividend payment this year.
Free Cash Flow before customer financing of € 991 million (FY 2008: € 2,886 million) exceeded guidance due to successful Cash Flow management. It also benefited from payments of public customers at year-end which were expected in 2010. Net customer financing outflow was lower than expected during 2009 at around € 400 million. Free Cash Flow after customer financing amounted to € 585 million (FY 2008: € 2,559 million). EADS refinanced its € 1 billion Eurobond in August. Investing activities consumed € 1.9 billion, reflecting an increase in capital expenditure as investment ramps up in the A350 programme. The Group’s Net Cash position reached € 9.8 billion (year-end 2008: € 9.2 billion).
The Group’s order intake decreased to € 45.8 billion (FY 2008: € 98.6 billion). The target order intake for commercial aircraft was achieved but as expected falls short of the 2008 level. On 31 December 2009, the order book of EADS stood at a robust € 389.1 billion (year-end 2008: € 400.2 billion) despite the revaluation impact at the closing rate of 1.44 $/€ at the end of December versus 1.39 $/€ at the end of December 2008. This revaluation has led to a reduction of around € 11 billion. The defence order book increased to € 57.3 billion (year-end 2008: € 54.9 billion). This growth was driven by important military contracts in 2009 including Eurofighter Tranche 3a.
At the end of December 2009, EADS had 119,506 employees (year-end 2008: 118,349).
In 2009, EADS continued improving its Group-wide efficiency. Airbus had achieved € 2 billion in Power8 gross savings (different from the net EBIT* impact) compared to the projected cost base by the end of 2009. Smart buying, supply chain streamlining and logistics integration as well as lean manufacturing have made solid contributions to a leaner Airbus.
Power8 plus has now started and contributions will be made from all Divisions. Additional projects at Airbus include redesign implementation in single aisle and long range programmes.
Regarding the Future EADS integration and savings plan, the Group is increasing its target for gross annual savings compared to the projected cost base from € 200 million to € 350 million at the end of 2012. Future EADS aims to simplify, harmonise and integrate support functions in all areas. The savings run through ten project streams from Finance to IT, General Procurement and Facility Management.
The different cost saving initiatives are being consolidated at Division level as they further mature like in Eurocopter where they are captured within the SHAPE programme.
Upon evaluation of the request for proposal for the US Air Force Tanker replacement, Northrop Grumman has decided not to submit a bid to the US Department of Defence for the KC-X program.
As a team, serious concerns were expressed to the US Department of Defence and the US Air Force that the acquisition methodology outlined in the request for proposal (RFP) would heavily weigh the competition in favour of the smaller, less capable Boeing tanker. Northrop’s in-depth analysis of the RFP reaffirmed those concerns and prompted the decision not to bid.
This decision does not diminish EADS’ commitment to the US, or to its service men and women. EADS also remains convinced that the A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft would deliver added capability, lower risk and best value for both the service men and women and US taxpayer.
It has been flown, tested and proven. The A330 MRTT has been selected over the Boeing tanker in the last five consecutive competitions and will shortly enter service with several US allies.
Outlook
As EADS enters into 2010, the Group remains fundamentally solid to cope with the improving but still volatile economic environment.
This is based on a resilient, actively managed backlog of 3,488 aircraft in Airbus, 1,303 in Eurocopter and strong backlog in the Space and Defence businesses.
Progressive recovery in traffic and yield especially in emerging markets should first stabilise airline financials before it leads to additional ordering activity.
Based on a number of active campaigns, which should lead to 250-300 new gross orders in 2010 and a stable overbooked backlog on single aisle aircraft, Airbus decided to increase production rate from 34 to 36 aircraft per month on single aisles starting in December 2010 while keeping the long range programme production rates roughly stable at around 8 aircraft per month.
In 2010, Airbus expects to deliver up to the same level of aircraft as in 2009 and new gross orders should range between 250 and 300 aircraft. Eurocopter should deliver around 6 percent less helicopters in 2010 compared to 2009.
Therefore, using € 1 = $1.40 as the average spot rate, EADS revenues should be roughly stable in 2010.
EADS’ EBIT* in 2010 will be around € 1 billion. The deterioration of the hedge rates will weigh by about € -1 billion compared to 2009. A380, while slightly improving, will continue to weigh substantially on the EBIT* before one-off, as in 2009. Cost savings and some improvement in aircraft pricing should contribute positively while weaker helicopter deliveries, some increase in Research & Development (R&D) and cost inflation will weigh on profitability.
Going forward, the EBIT* performance of EADS will be dependent on the Group’s ability to execute on the A400M, A380 and A350 programmes in line with the commitments made to its customers.
Provided a sustainable year-end cash inflow of institutional and government business and subject to Pre-Delivery Payment advances for the A400M programme, the Free Cash Flow before customer financing should be break-even. Free Cash Flow after customer financing should be negative due to customer financing cash-outflows of around € 1 billion.
*
EADS uses EBIT pre goodwill impairment and exceptionals as a key indicator of its economic performance. The term “exceptionals” refers to such items as depreciation expenses of fair value adjustments relating to the EADS merger, the Airbus Combination and the formation of MBDA, as well as impairment charges thereon.
**
This accounting method was used by EADS from September 2008 until the end of December 2009 as EADS could neither finally agree with OCCAR on an updated contract scheme for the A400M programme nor reliably assess the related financial implications of the delayed A400M programme. (For more details refer to the “Year 2009 Report, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated, Financial Information of EADS N.V. for the year ended December 31, 2009”).
EADS is a global leader in aerospace, defence and related services. In 2009, the Group – comprising Airbus, Eurocopter, EADS Astrium and EADS Defence & Security – generated revenues of € 42.8 billion and employed a workforce of more than 119,000.

measures, which exclude the impact of the FAS/CAS pension

Preliminary Return on Invested Capital Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Fourth Quarter 2009
We define Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) as income from continuing
operations excluding the after-tax affect of the FAS/CAS Pension
Adjustment plus after-tax net interest expense plus one-third of
operating lease expense after-tax (estimate of interest portion of
operating lease expense) divided by average invested capital after
capitalizing operating leases (operating lease expense times a
multiplier of 8), adding financial guarantees less net investment in
Discontinued Operations, and adding back the impact of the
accounting standard for employers' accounting for defined benefit
pension and other postretirement plans. ROIC is not a measure of
financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in
the same manner. ROIC should be considered supplemental to and not
a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. We use ROIC as a measure of efficiency and effectiveness of
our use of capital and as an element of management compensation.

The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) reported fourth-quarter net income of $1.3 billion, or $1.75 per share, as revenue rose 42 percent to $17.9 billion. Current period results reflect solid performance across core businesses and represent a significant improvement over the year-ago quarter, which included a labor strike and a charge on the 747 program (Table 1).
Revenue for the full year reached a record $68.3 billion on higher commercial deliveries and growth in Defense, Space & Security. Earnings for the year declined to $1.84 per share due to a combined $3.58 per share impact from previously announced 787 and 747 events in Commercial Airplanes. Earnings for 2008 of $3.67 per share included a combined $2.56 per share impact primarily due to a labor strike and charges on the 747 program.
Earnings guidance for 2010 has been established at $3.70 to $4.00 per share, reflecting the previously announced 777 production rate reduction, reduced scope on Army modernization and missile defense programs, and some consideration for development program and market risks.
“We put a strong finish on 2009 by getting the 787 in the air and generating solid core operating performance across the company,” said Jim McNerney, Boeing chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Focus areas for 2010 are to continue our strong operational performance, certify and deliver the 787 and 747-8, and further reposition our defense, space and security business. While the challenges ahead are significant, I believe we have the people and the resources we need to be successful and to begin consistently delivering on this company’s great potential.”
Boeing’s quarterly operating cash flow was $3.2 billion, which includes higher cash receipts than the strike-affected period a year ago partially offset by continued investment in development programs (Table 2). For the full year, operating cash flow was $5.6 billion. Free cash flow* was $3.0 billion in the quarter and $4.4 billion for the year.

Segment Results
Commercial Airplanes
Boeing Commercial Airplane’s fourth-quarter revenue doubled to $9.2 billion. A labor strike reduced revenue in the year-ago period by an estimated $4.3 billion. The current period operating margins of 11.1 percent reflect strong operating performance and model mix, while earnings for the year-ago quarter were reduced by the labor strike and a 747 charge (Table 4).
For the full year, revenue rose to $34.1 billion on higher airplane deliveries partially offset by lower services volume. Commercial Airplanes posted a loss for the year of $0.6 billion driven by previously announced 787 and 747 impacts. The 787 impact, which reduced 2009 operating earnings by $2.7 billion, resulted from the reclassification of costs for the first three flight-test airplanes from program inventory to research and development expense. On the 747, higher costs and difficult market conditions resulted in previously announced charges totaling $1.4 billion. Combined, these events reduced the unit’s reported operating margin by 11.9 points.

Commercial Airplanes booked 82 gross orders during the quarter while 20 others were removed from its order book. Contractual backlog remains strong with 3,375 airplanes valued at $250 billion, more than seven times the unit’s 2009 revenue.
The 787 program entered flight testing during the quarter with the first two airplanes completing first flights. The remaining four flight-test airplanes are expected to be flying by the end of the second quarter. First delivery is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2010. During the quarter, the company completed its acquisition of Global Aeronautica and broke ground in South Carolina for the second 787 assembly line. Total firm orders for the 787 at quarter-end were 851 airplanes from 56 customers.
The 747-8 program expects its first flight in the near future which will begin the flight-test phase of the program. Initial delivery is expected in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Boeing Defense, Space & Security
Boeing Defense, Space & Security’s fourth-quarter revenue rose 6 percent to $8.5 billion on increased military aircraft deliveries and higher volume in services. Operating margins were 9.7 percent reflecting strong performance in Boeing Military Aircraft and Global Services & Support partially offset by additional costs on the Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) program which reduced margins by 1.6 points (Table 5).
For the full year, revenue increased by 5 percent to $33.7 billion on growth in Global Services & Support and Boeing Military Aircraft segments. Operating earnings grew 2 percent to $3.3 billion, producing operating margins of 9.8 percent.

Boeing Military Aircraft (BMA) fourth-quarter revenue rose 19 percent to $3.7 billion and operating margin was 9.5 percent, reflecting higher aircraft deliveries, improved delivery mix and strong execution across its programs, partially offset by higher costs on the AEW&C program which reduced BMA margins by 3.5 points. During the quarter, BMA delivered 32 aircraft, the EA-18G was approved for full-rate production, and the C-17 won new international orders.
Network & Space Systems fourth-quarter revenue was $2.4 billion, reduced primarily by lower volume on combat systems and missile defense. Operating margin was 5.9 percent reflecting solid performance across the segment’s array of programs partially offset by a write-down of Delta II inventory and a contract settlement in satellites. During the quarter, the Brigade Combat Team Modernization Increment 1 was approved to enter low rate initial production.
Global Services & Support (GS&S) revenue increased 19 percent on higher volume across its broad portfolio of services and logistics products. During the quarter, GS&S operating margins were 13.8 percent driven by strong operating performance. In this segment, the KC-135 Programmed Depot Maintenance contract award was reinstated, and the company was awarded several Department of Energy Smart Grid grants.
Backlog at Defense, Space & Security is $64.8 billion, approximately two times expected 2010 revenue. The reduction in backlog was driven by run-off of multi-year contracts that exceeded additions to backlog and by termination of a portion of the Brigade Combat Team Modernization contract due to changing US defense priorities.
Boeing Capital Corporation
Boeing Capital Corporation (BCC) reported fourth-quarter pre-tax earnings of $14 million compared to $19 million in the same period last year (Table 6). During the quarter, BCC’s portfolio balance declined slightly to $5.7 billion, down from $6.0 billion at the beginning of the year and from $6.1 billion at the end of the third quarter, on customer payments and depreciation. BCC contributed $93 million in cash dividends to the company during the full year. BCC’s debt-to-equity ratio increased to 5.8-to-1.

Additional Information
The “Other” segment consists primarily of Boeing Engineering, Operations and Technology, as well as certain results related to the financial consolidation of all business units. Other segment expense was $47 million in the fourth quarter, down from $74 million in the same period last year.
Total pension expense for the fourth quarter was $223 million, as compared to $113 million in the same period last year. A total of $264 million was recognized in the operating segments in the quarter (up from $99 million in the same period last year), partially offset by a $41 million contribution to earnings in unallocated items. The company made a discretionary contribution of 29.2 million shares of Boeing common stock, valued at $1.5 billion, to its pension plans during the quarter.
Unallocated expense was $123 million, up from $101 million in the same quarter last year, driven by higher deferred compensation expense partially offset by lower unallocated pension expense and intersegment eliminations.
Interest expense for the quarter was $110 million, up from $57 million in the same period last year due to additional debt issued in 2009. Other income/(expense) decreased $23 million driven by lower interest earned on cash balances.
Outlook
The company’s 2010 financial guidance reflects solid operating performance amid lower volumes, higher pension expense and continued investment in development programs (Table 7).
Boeing’s 2010 revenue guidance is $64 billion to $66 billion and reflects previously announced production rate reductions on 777 and reduced scope on Army modernization and missile defense. Earnings guidance for 2010 of $3.70 to $4.00 per share reflects the lower revenue and includes some consideration for development program and market risks. Operating cash flow is expected to be approximately zero in 2010, including less than $100 million of pension contributions, as the company continues to build inventory on key development programs.
The company expects that 2011 revenue will be higher than 2010, primarily driven by higher estimates of 787 and 747-8 deliveries. Combining higher estimated deliveries with plans for R&D and other factors, operating cash flow in 2011 is expected to be greater than $5 billion.
Commercial Airplanes’ 2010 delivery guidance is established at between 460 and 465 airplanes (reflecting fewer twin-aisle deliveries) and is sold out. It includes the first few 787 and 747-8 deliveries, which are expected to begin in the fourth quarter. The unit’s 2010 revenue is expected to be $31 billion to $32 billion with operating margins between 6.5 percent and 7.5 percent.
Defense, Space & Security’s revenue for 2010 is expected to be $32 billion to $33 billion with operating margins of approximately 10 percent.
Boeing Capital Corporation expects that its aircraft finance portfolio will continue to reduce as its expected new aircraft financing for 2010 is less than $0.5 billion, below normal portfolio runoff through customer payments and depreciation. BCC’s debt-to-equity ratio is expected to return to the 5.0-to-1 level in the second half of 2010.

R&D is expected to decrease significantly in 2011. Capital expenditures for 2010 are expected to be approximately $1.9 billion reflecting the bulk of capital investments required for the second 787 assembly line in South Carolina. Capital expenditures in 2011 are expected to be lower than in 2010.
The company’s non-cash pension expense is expected to be approximately $1.2 billion in 2010.
Non-GAAP Measure Disclosure
Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures (indicated by an asterisk *) used in this report provide investors with important perspectives into the company’s ongoing business performance. The company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. The following definitions are provided:
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is defined as GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment additions. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow internally to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. Table 2 provides a reconciliation between GAAP operating cash flow and free cash flow.

Mideast air traffic soars 19 pct in December
January 27, 2010 by Marcel van Leeuwen · Leave a Comment
DUBAI – Middle East airlines posted a 19 percent rise in passenger growth in December on the year-earlier period, closing one of the worst years for the global aviation industry on a high note, industry figures showed on Wednesday.
Global passenger demand improved 4.5 percent in December, but demand for the whole of 2009 still witnessed its largest ever post-war decline, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said.
Carriers in the region achieved an 11.2 percent increase in full-year demand, IATA said.
“These gains result from Middle Eastern carriers taking a larger share of long-haul connecting traffic over their hubs,” it said in a statement.
The Middle East region consistently outperformed the rest of the world last year, maintaining positive growth most months despite the global recession.
Global passenger demand for the full year was down 3.5 percent, IATA said.
“In terms of demand, 2009 goes into the history books as the worst year the industry has ever seen,” Giovanni Bisignani, IATA director-general and CEO, said in the statement.
“We have permanently lost 2.5 years of growth in passenger markets and 3.5 years of growth in the freight business.”
Middle East freight demand also showed a significant improvement in December over the same month the previous year, climbing 32.1 percent to end the year up 3.9 percent.
Globally freight demand jumped a 24.4 percent during the month, which IATA put down to an “exceptionally” weak performance in December 2008. Full-year global freight demand declined 10.1 percent, IATA said.
However, the body said “optimism is returning to the industry as purchasing managers survey indicators reached a 44-month high in December pointing towards increased freight volumes in the coming months”.

Eurocopter meets 2009 Turnover and Delivery Objectives – Civil Orders decrease while military Orders increase
January 25, 2010 by Rob Vogelaar · Leave a Comment
Eurocopter, the world’s leading helicopter manufacturer, met its business and delivery objectives for 2009 and stabilised its turnover at the level of its record year, 2008. The world economic crisis caused a sharp order decline in the civil market for light helicopters. However, governmental orders have over-compensated in value the drop in commercial unit sales, leading to the second-best result of order intakes in Eurocopter’s history. In line with Eurocopter’s roadmap, the Support and Services business was also strengthened with the signature of a number of significant contracts.
Deliveries remained stable with 558 new civil and military helicopters delivered in 2009 and almost matching the peak level of 2008. This figure reinforces Eurocopter’s position as a major branded business division within EADS, accounting for a consolidated turnover of 4.6 billion Euros.
Order bookings suffered a decline in terms of units sold, but not in value. A net total of 344 new aircraft, including 81 Super Puma/Cougar/EC225/EC725 family helicopters, were sold, amounting to 5.8 billion Euros. With around 460 gross orders, Eurocopter secured its No. 1 market position in the civil and parapublic market. The company’s total order backlog at the end of 2009 amounted to a robust 1,300 helicopters or the equivalent of 15.1 billion Euros, an increase of more than 1 billion Euros compared to the end of 2008.
While governmental markets remain stable despite of budget constraints, a full recovery of the commercial markets in 2010 is not evident. The lower order intake for light helicopters in 2009 will lead to lower production rates in 2010, while military helicopter rates will increase, a situation Eurocopter should be able to manage with its built-in flexibility.
Consolidated turnover
55 percent of the company’s turnover achieved in 2009 was related to serial helicopters (equalling 2.5 billion Euros), 35 percent (1.6 billion Euros) derived out of support and services, whereas 10 percent (0.5 billion Euros) were realized from development and other activities.
While 52 percent of the turnover derived from civil and parapublic sales, 48 percent was related to Eurocopter’s military products. The company thereby retained its healthy balance between the civil and military markets. The export share is 65 percent, with 35 percent achieved in the company’s domestic markets (i.e., France, Germany, Spain), proving Eurocopter’s successful strategy of expanding its activities to emerging markets.
Order bookings
The breakdown of order bookings is as follows: serial helicopters 65 percent (3.8 billion Euros), support and services 31 percent (1.8 billion Euros) and development and other activities 4 percent (0.2 billion Euros). Eurocopter’s bookings for support and services have grown consistently by an average of 10 to 15 percent over the past three years.
Regarding the 2009 bookings, military and civil products count for 70 and 30 percent respectively. The total export rate amounts to 66 percent.
Bookings related to product range
2009 orders were placed for 344 production helicopters as follows:
- 8 units of EC120 Colibri
- 103 units of the AS350/355 Ecureuil/Fennec/EC130 family
- 58 units of EC135
- 63 units of EC145 (including 51 UH-72A Lakota)
- 9 units of the Dauphin/Panther/EC155 family
- 81 units of the Super Puma/CougarEC225/EC725 family
- 22 NH90
Eurocopter CEO Lutz Bertling stated, “Our global industrial footprint and our comprehensive, innovative product and services portfolio have proven to be an asset in this difficult economic period. Not all geographic areas and market segments are equally affected by the crisis. The downturn in the corporate, tourism and EMS markets which typically acquire smaller helicopters has been countered by a stable oil and gas market due to new exploration activities, and by a strong military market. Our decision to focus, in 2009, on governmental and services orders has proven to be right and allowed us to increase our backlog by more than 1 billion Euros. While the United States and Eastern Europe, for instance, have been heavily affected by the crisis, Latin America, Asia and Western Europe kept up relatively well. In 2009, we have continued to expand our industrial presence in the UK, Japan, the USA, Australia, Brazil, Singapore and Thailand, while at the same time investing more resources into Research & Development and new products. We will be ready for future market requirements when the economy recovers.”
Eurocopter’s key highlights in 2009 were the roll-out of the KUH (Korean Utility Helicopter), developed jointly with Korea Aerospace Industries, on July 31, and the maiden flight of the EC175, a joint development with Avic of China, on December 4. Both programmes are precisely on schedule and show great market potential already at this early stage
.
The Tiger has been deployed to Afghanistan by the French Armed Forces, proving unparalleled reliability and serviceability in the operational theatre. NH90 deliveries have continued throughout 2009 with a fleet of 40 helicopters in the tactical transport version now in service in five countries. The first naval NH90 has been handed over to the Netherlands.
Deliveries of the UH-72A Lakota for the US Army and Navy are approaching 100, all of them on time or even ahead of schedule. An order for a further 51 Lakotas was placed in December. The deployed Lakota fleet has accumulated over 21,000 flight hours to date, Eurocopter’s Support and Services section booked three major orders, one for the retrofit of 26 German Army CH53s for personnel recovery mission, one for the Life Extension of 28 Royal Air Force Pumas, and one for the retrofit of 34 Brazilian Army Panthers. The range of Eurocopter’s services has also been expanded substantially in 2009, with the inauguration of new simulators at Helisim, HFTS, American Eurocopter and Eurocopter Deutschland, the installation of 24/7 customer service centres in Hong Kong and Dallas, a new logistics platform in France, and guaranteed ad hoc support to all customers.
Challenges for 2010
Facing an unpredictable market situation, Eurocopter has launched an internal programme designated SHAPE with the following aims:
1. Save cash (short term), implement cost reductions to save €200 million per year, and reduce inventory, both to generate the cash for investing in the company’s future.
2. Improve productivity and efficiency, implement faster, simplified processes.
3. Invest into new projects such as the X4 (successor for the Dauphin), the Aerial Armed Scout proposed to the US Army together with Lockheed Martin, and the Future Transport Helicopter. In addition, Eurocopter will boost environmental, safety and performance/cost technologies for the benefit of its customers. With bluecopter® by Eurocopter, environmental friendliness has become a focus for Eurocopter’s innovation works.
The company’s SHAPE programme is the right step towards implementing the Eurocopter Vision 2020. With these targets, combined with its strong order backlog, Eurocoper is well-placed to weather the challenges of the years to come.

ATR Aircraft deliveries in 2009
January 18, 2010 by Rob Vogelaar · 5 Comments
Status 2009
ATR booked orders for 40 new aircraft (see figure 1) and options for 17 aircraft in 2009. Europe and Asia, each with orders for 16 aircraft, represented 80% of the total order intakes of the year. In addition, 50% of the orders of the year were booked for the newest ATR ‘-600 series’ aircraft (2 ATR 42-600 and 18 ATR 72-600).
Since the beginning of the programme, ATR has sold 1,000 new aircraft (418 ATR 42s and 582 ATR 72s). In the last 5 years, ATR has booked net orders for 316 new aircraft, which represents almost a third of the total orders registered by ATR.
ATR’s current portfolio is composed by 150 operators in over 80 countries.
ATR delivered 54 new aircraft in 2009 (see figure 2). As of December 31st 2009, ATR delivered a total of 864 aircraft (409 ATR 42s and 455 ATR 72s).
ATR finished 2009 with a backlog of 136 aircraft, including a total of 59 ATR ‘-600 series’ aircraft. The current backlog represents more than two years of production.
ATR reached a new record in the annual turnover, with US $ 1.4 billion (see figure 3).
In 2009, according to their scheduled development programme, the ATR 72-600 pre-series aircraft started its flight test campaign, while the first ATR 42-600 was powered-on and began its ground tests.
ATR continued in 2009 the reinforcement of its customer support activities and further expanded its presence in Asia with the opening of a new logistic support center in Kuala Lumpur. This new facility enables its operators in the Asia-Pacific region having contracted a Global Maintenance Agreement (GMA) to benefit from increased efficiency and reduced costs. In addition, ATR booked in 2009 new GMAs with 5 operators, covering 41 aircraft. Among these contracts, ATR inked with Spanish carrier Air Nostrum the first GMA for the maintenance of ‘-600 series’ aircraft. Today, 26% of the ATR aircraft in operation –over 200 aircraft- are covered by GMAs.
ATR has a total workforce of 870 employees.
Outlook 2010
ATR plans to consolidate its deliveries over 50 aircraft during 2010, while waiting to get a better overview on the recovery of the economy in order to continue its delivery ramp up. For 2010, ATR points also at the stabilization of its annual turnover, around US $ 1.4 billion. As already done in previous years, ATR will keep on strengthening its activities to assist its clients in order to source the optimal aircraft financing.
According to its development programme, the ATR 72-600 will continue its 150 hours flight test campaign in order to obtain its certification. The ATR 42-600 will start in 2010 its 75 hours flight test campaign, and will benefit from certain tests completed by the ATR 72-600. The production of the first commercial ATR ‘-600s’ will start in 2010, for an entry into service, as planned, in 2011.
In the last five years, turboprops are achieving higher commercial results than jets in the regional market and represented almost 60% of the total orders. The potential for turboprops is high both in growing economies and in regions where turboprops are replacing regional jets or previous turboprop versions. In 2010, ATR focus on consolidating its leading position in the turboprop market, with more than 50% of the total sales.
Concerning the support and services activities, ATR will continue expanding its worldwide support offer in 2010 with the opening of new training facilities, while evaluating further developments of its regional support policy.

Airbus achieves record aircraft deliveries in 2009
January 12, 2010 by Rob Vogelaar · 2 Comments
Airbus delivered a total of 498 aircraft in 2009. The figure is a new company delivery record for a single year and is 15 more aircraft than in 2008. The figure includes 402 A320 Family aircraft, 86 A330/A340s which are both records for a single year, and 10 A380s. Airbus Military, the military aircraft division of Airbus, delivered 16 light and medium transport aircraft.
Further company streamlining saw the formation of Airbus Military, signalling the full integration of military aircraft programmes within Airbus. The maiden flight of the A400M (MSN 1) in December was a proof-point of the successful re-organisation and new programme set-up.

The MRTT received a further incremental order for three aircraft, raising the total to 28. On the smaller transport aircraft front, the year was successful, with 19 orders from seven customers. These include one order for the C-212, two for the CN-235 and 16 for the C-295.
